“Posterity! You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it.” - John Adams

"So they committed themselves to the will of God and resolved to proceed." ~ William
Bradford

This one of my all time favorite quotes ever. The story behind it makes it even more powerful. The faith and long term vision our Pilgrim forefathers had never ceases to amaze me. I respect them so much that I have a little girl named after Priscilla Mullins.

They knew the direction they needed to go. They knew it would be hard. They knew most people thought they were crazy. They knew they might not see the fruits of their labor for many years. They knew they were lighting small candles and sowing seeds. They knew it would require the greatest of sacrifices.

They did it for their children and for their families - for freedom and new life for them. They did it because they were walking in obedience to the Almighty God that they knew and loved.

When I think of their grit and perseverance- what it cost them and what it gained all of us-it puts my own mountains in perspective and helps me to face them with renewed strength and encouragement. Their firm trust in God encourages me keep my eyes on my faithful Father and to follow in the way He leads; to keep putting one step in front of the other. Even when the road is long and weary, to resolve to proceed.

“It was November - the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines...” - L.M. Montgomery.

"The adversaries of truth are many, influential, l

"The adversaries of truth are many, influential, learned, and crafty; and truth fares ill at their hands; and yet the man of God has no cause for trepidation. Agencies, seen and unseen, of the most potent kind, are on the side of righteousness. God has armies in ambush which will reveal themselves in the hour of need. The forces which are on the side of the good and the true far outweigh the powers of evil. Therefore, let us keep our spirits up, and walk with the gait of men who possess a cheering secret, which has lifted them above all fear. We are on the winning side. The battle may be sharp, but we know how it will end. Faith, having God with her, is in a clear majority: "They that be with us are more than they that be with them."" -C.H. Spurgeon

"When I think of just myself and my little cares,

"When I think of just myself and my little cares,
Looming large and crowding close, hindering my prayers,
Of my weakness and my sins, I am sore depressed;
Weary, weary grows my thought; I can find no rest.

When I think upon the world and its many woes -
Hunger, misery and crime - how the long list grows!
Greed and hatred and unrest, strifes that never cease,
Weary, weary grows my thought; I can find no peace.

When I meditate on Thee and Thy works, O Lord,
On Thy strength and majesty, on Thy changeless word;
On Thy Steadfast faithfulness, reaching to the sky;
On Thy patient, watchful care over such as I;

On Thine everlasting love, high and strong and deep;
On Thy wisdom and Thy truth and Thy power to keep;
When I think of what Thou art and what Thy power has done;
When I number all the gifts given in Thy Son --

I forget the things that pass in the things that bide,
And my soul can rest in peace, fed and satisfied."

~ Annie Johnson Flint

"Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ

"Remember, therefore, it is not thy hold of Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not thy joy in Christ that saves thee—it is Christ; it is not even faith in Christ, though that be the instrument—it is Christ's blood and merits; therefore, look not so much to thy hand with which thou art grasping Christ, as to Christ; look not to thy hope, but to Jesus, the source of thy hope; look not to thy faith, but to Jesus, the author and finisher of thy faith. We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul" - Charles Spurgeon
